Hi HN! This project idea has been in my backlog for a couple of years now, but thanks to the help of a couple of classmates, we've recently released this on the Chrome Web Store!

Key Features:

1. Supports auto-saving of Google Translate and DeepL queries

2. Folder organization

3. Export cards as a .tsv file to import into flashcard apps like Quizlet or Anki

As a spanish learner myself, I would often find myself looking up the translations of the same words/phrases over and over again, not actually learning anything in the process. Sure, I could just write them down in a spreadsheet and review from it periodically, but that required far too much effort/upkeep. I couldn't find any app that would automatically do this for me (other than Google Translate's "History" sidebar), so that's why WordKache exists.

Let me know what you think! If you're a language learner, have you encountered similar problems in the past?
